Timing belt and aux belt replacement cost

Featured Replies

Hi, can anyone give me a rough estimate on how much it’s gonna cost me to get my timing belt/cambelt and auxbelt replaced before I get a quote from a garage so I know what to expect?

1.25 mk6 fiesta zetec (climate - don’t think that makes any difference)

thanks



I'd guess at £350 ish if you've never been there before, although probably cheaper if you don't have the water pump done.

 

Buy the kit you need from euro car parts or ebay and ask the garage for a fitting only sevice, i did mine myself having never done one before, took me about 90 minutes, should be looking at 20 quid for both belts and 40 quid labour, thats north east prices though

whilst I would not say never do this, there is a potential problem with getting someone to fit a part you supply. If there is a problem later on, then the fitter could blame it on the part you supplied even if it was down to their labour.  If they supply the parts and labour then they can not pass the buck so easily.  with a timing belt and the disaster it can cause there is more to lose in such a dispute.
